    WoW Forever Hunter talents at a glance

    Hunters have 50 talents, four more than in Classic. Fifteen are new and 24 changed. Eleven Classic Hunter talents are gone from the trees, among them the slaying talents of Survival. Aimed Shot left the Marksmanship tree too, but not the game: every Hunter now learns it at level 20, according to Blizzard’s Hunter deep dive.

    The 31-point talents are Bestial Wrath (unchanged), the new Sniper Shot for Marksmanship and the new Lacerating Strikes for Survival. The 16-point talents are Summon Hawk, Trueshot Aura and Counterattack.

    Beast Mastery

    A WoW Forever Beast Mastery Hunter spends most points in this tree. Beast Mastery stays close to Classic. Focused Fire raises the damage you and your pet deal, and Summon Hawk is a new active ability that sends a hawk to attack your target for 18 seconds. Bestial Wrath is unchanged.

    Marksmanship

    A WoW Forever Marksmanship Hunter spends most points in this tree. Marksmanship is reworked around shots and a petless option. Careful Aim turns Intellect into Attack Power, Rapid Killing shortens Rapid Fire and empowers your next Shot after a kill, and Lone Wolf gives 20% more damage while you have no active pet. Rapid Recuperation restores mana while casting, and Sniper Shot is a long-range shot that extends the range of your next three Shots.

    Survival

    A WoW Forever Survival Hunter spends most points in this tree. Survival becomes a melee specialization. Predator’s Edge raises melee critical damage and off-hand damage, Strider Kick is a new kick with a speed burst, Expose Prey lets attacks on targets with Hunter’s Mark open Mongoose Bite, and Lacerating Strikes makes Mongoose Bite cause a bleed. Resourcefulness and Survivalist’s Discipline make traps cheaper and faster.

    Is Aimed Shot gone in WoW Forever?

    No, it just left the talent tree. Blizzard's Hunter deep dive says Aimed Shot is now a baseline ability for every Hunter at level 20, and it now shares a cooldown with Multi-Shot instead of Arcane Shot. Sniper Shot replaces it as the 31-point Marksmanship talent.

    Which Hunter talents can I get while leveling in WoW Forever?

Some need a prerequisite at max rank first, and the Legacy perk Talented moves each step up to 5 levels earlier. Set your level in the calculator to see exactly what fits.

    Can a Hunter's pet tank in WoW Forever?

    In solo and small group play, yes. Blizzard says Hunters have one combat role, damage, but can use their pet as a tank in solo and small group play, and pets now gain stats from their Hunter's gear instead of from player buffs.
